President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed confidence ahead of the

Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday.

He also urged members of the Council to be dedicated and committed
towards ensuring the party's victory at the forthcoming election.

you to work as hard as you can so that we can maximize the scale and
extent of our victory.

"I urge you to rise to the challenge of the great expectations this
party and Nigerians have for you – and the confidence that I
personally have in the ability of all of you to deliver.

"Needless to add, your selection was not easy, because in forming this
council, the party settled only for the best.

"You are the cream of the party and I assure you that with unity of
purpose and effective harmony and communication, there is no political
opponent you cannot overcome.''
